If it were possible to give negative stars for a place, this place would earn negative stars. I have traveled to nearly every state in the United States; I have stayed in numerous hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts. In fact, I have stayed in Branson many times at different hotels. I have never experienced the level of incompetence that I just experienced here at Branson Towers.

First, we had prepaid for our room for three nights; Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Due to unforeseen problems, we were unable to make it to Branson on Thursday. I called Branson Towers, and told them that we would not be there Thursday, but that we would be there early Friday morning. I further told them that since we had prepaid for Thursday night, and that it was too late for a cancellation refund for Thursday, that I expected the room to be held empty and that we would be able to check in early Friday. (Their normal check in time is 3:00 pm. After some discussion as to whether this was right or wrong, the person I called did tell me that my room would be kept clean and empty, and that we would be able to check in before 3:00 pm.

Well, bad luck continued to plague us on Friday, and we did not actually arrive at Branson until 1:00 pm. We were tired and somewhat distort, but at least we could check in go to our room, shower and perhaps catch a nap before our show that evening.

When I walked up to the front desk, a woman and four children were standing there, all wearing bathing suits and dripping wet. The woman was screaming at the two ladies behind the desk, “We are staying here a week, and this is costing us over $500.00. So far you have done noting but inconvenience us, and this is a big inconvenience. We need to shower and get ready for dinner and a show.” She screamed, then having only been told “Mam we are sorry”, she and her daughters walked away. I had no idea what that conversation was about, but it concerned me.

I told the lady behind the desk that I was there to check in, and she immediately told me I would have to leave and return at 3:00 pm. I told her that I had no intention of leaving and checking in later, and about the conversation I had the night before with the person behind the desk. I told her that my room had been prepaid for Thursday, and that I had been assured that it would be clean and empty when I arrived Friday. She looked on her computer, and said you are in luck; “We do have a room for you that has just been cleaned.”

The walk down the hall to the room was disappointing, the carpet was filthy and looked as though it needed to be removed and replaced. Once in our room, it was somewhat a disappointment. Our bed sloped from a high point at the foot, to a lower point at the head.However, everything else was adequate, and we were now too tired to care much. By the time the excitement and negotiations were over, and we had moved our things into the room it was not 2:00 pm. Time for a badly needed shower and some relaxation time before dinner. I got into the shower first, because I take less time in the shower than my wife. There was no HOT WATER. I got out of the shower, and called the front desk. When I told them that my room had no hot water, they said; “Yes we know. There was some sort of emergency this morning, and our maintenance people are working on the problem.” I ask if they had an idea of when the problem would be resolved, and they told me that they expected to be finished in about two more hours.

Now, I’m not a plumber or an electrician. I am a retired engineer. However, I have done a great deal of plumbing and electrical maintenance in my years. In fact, I have had more that one hot water heater fail in my life. Once I had one fail at 8:00 pm one night. I drove to Lowe’s purchased a new one, drove home and changed heaters and had the water back on to my house all in less than two hours.

Oh well, things happen. We decided to take a short nap then go to a restaurant and eat (Stinky), then come back and shower before the show. We did go eat (Stinky), we did come back, we did go to the show in fresh cloths and (Stinky). When we returned to our room, we did have hot water. I don’t know when they actually got it fixed.

Saturday morning, we wert down for breakfast at around 7:00 am. There was a police officer at the front desk taking a report, and another driving around the parking lot. (I should note here, the outside doors that we used to enter the building had no locks. Anyone could come and go freely.) I don’t know what the police were doing, don’t even care, but it was a little unsettling.

Saturday evening, we went to an early show, and stopped for dinner on the way back to our room. Not really having the time to catch up on rest, we were exhausted when we arrived back at out room. We showered, and went to bed early, around 10:15 pm.

At 11:45 pm, I was awakened by the sound of someone messing with our door coupled with a vigorous shaking from my wife. I got out of bed and walked to the door, and arrived just as the door opened. Luckily for both the person who had just opened my door and me, my wife had earlier latched the safety latch on the door. The door was opened as far as it could be opened with the safety latch in place. However, fingers were sticking through the door and trying to manipulate the latch. I slammed the door closed on the fingers, and shouted; “What in the hell do you think you are doing!”

I heard a lady say to another person, “They must have given us the key card to the wrong room.” Then I heard them walk away. Now, earlier I said luckily the safety latch was latched. I mean, had the latch not been latched and these people had walked into my room, someone would have gone to the hospital and someone else would have probably gone to jail. All over the incompetence of the people who were at the front desk.

I called the front desk, and shouted; “Can you tell me how in the hell someone could get a key card to my room.” To which the desk clerk replied, “What is your name?” I told her my name, and she ask, “Did you extend your stay?” To which I replied, “No, I did not need to extend my stay, I am prepaid through tonight, and leaving in the morning.” To which she replied, “Someone told me you had checked out and were gone.” To which I replied, “How in the hell could that have happened, were my key cards turned in?” To which she replied, “I don’t know, but I will look into it.” To which I replied, “You do that, and you had better make damn sure that no one else gets a key to this room tonight.”

I don’t know, as far as my wife and I go, we will never again make the mistake of staying here. However, if you enjoy the excitement and comedy of incompetence and inconvenience, then you might enjoy this place. If not, then you should probably look for something else.

This was our first trip to Branson. This hotel did not disappoint. Clean rooms, great breakfast, and soft mattresses. I loved that it is actually a hotel. I felt more secure than just staying in a motel. (There are tons of motels in Branson). Staff was very nice, and we had NO problems there. Very reasonably priced as well. I would stay again when/if we travel to Branson.

We stayed in two different hotels during our stay and Branson Towers is the best.hotel.ever. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The rooms were clean. While the pool was outside of main building, it wasn't out of the way or too far from the main building. Breakfast was good. They had food that my kids will eat so that's a bonus. it is spacious enough to not feel crowded with the spring break crew. The location was a plus. Away from the hustle and noise of the strip but close enough for easy access. The pool was well maintained, my only problem was that the "ft" signs seemed inaccurate. Where it said 5Ft, I could barely touch. And my 6 and 7 year old couldn't touch in the 3 feet (and they are taller than 3ft.) We will be back!! We've already made reservations for June.

We stayed at the Branson towers for a short getaway with the kids and grandparents. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The Ice Cream Social was a nice touch too. The boys really enjoyed the amenities including the game room and the pool. We absolutely love the location... A short drive from everything we wanted and a lot less traffic to navigate through to get in and out of the location.

For beginners the room was not ready at the 3pm check in. We had to keep getting new key cards to the room because they would deactivate. The lady at the desk rudely said that it was something we were doing. Then told me it was because I was keeping it in my wallet with other cards. Don’t understand how that could cause the issue. When we were checked in they told us about ice cream at 10pm in the lobby. So we went to the lobby and there was no ice cream anywhere and was told they weren’t doing it tonight. So why were we told they were and our checkin papers even had it highlighted that was something the do every night. Their breakfast was horrible. It started at 630 we got there at 7 and the biscuit were so hard you couldn’t eat. The eggs were precooked frozen eggs that were barely reheated. There was muffins that were so hard you could knock someone out with them. We had to go to the McDonald’s down the road to get a decent breakfast. We definitely won’t stay here again and would never recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay here with our granddaughter. She loved the complementary hot chocolate at night by the coffee. Breakfast had really good food, just need to upgrade on the flimsy utensils, could barely cut my waffle. The arcade was a nice touch, and although we didn't get in the hot tub or pool, they looked very clean. We will definitely bring suits next time. The room was very clean, and I enjoyed a hot bubble bath in the spotless tub. The beds were perfect, the pillows were too big, and firm, made for a sleepless night until I finally got propped up enough to doze off around 3am. Simple fix, next time I will just bring my own pillow! The Keurig type coffee pot in the rooms was also a nice touch. All in all, a very nice hotel for the price, and we will definitely be back. If you're on the line about choosing a hotel, just book it, you won't be sorry!

The breakfast was awesome ,they have an array of breakfast food & beverages where great, you can fix your own pancakes,etc.The hotel has a great facade & you get to have when you come back at night , cobbler & ice cream for a minimal price,they have ice & soda machines.

I wanted to rate it a Five, especially for the value, but we didn’t sleep well. The wind was howling, and I was seriously concerned about the window. The oddly loud tick tock of the refrigerator will drive you crazy if you need silence. We unplugged it. And a prior guest impolitely set our alarm for 4am which woke the whole family. However, this hotel was really inviting when you walk in. The stairs are unique and beautiful. The fireplace was warm and cozy. Beds were clean. Pillows were huge, so bring your own if you don’t like that. They didn’t have the ice cream social, and we had brought a game and really looked forward to it. That was a bummer. Breakfast was ok for being free. Biscuits and gravy were good. Didn’t venture to try the sausage and eggs. Overall, good bang for your buck.

We have stayed here several times. The rooms are nice, breakfast is good and the staff is friendly! My kids love going during the holidays so they can check out the super tall Christmas tree!! Bathrooms are clean and the beds are comfy.
